| Bed in Summer | 4 | |
| 
In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. | ||
| Foreign Lands | 10 | |
| 
I held the trunk with both my hands And looked abroad on foreign lands. | ||
| The Land of Counterpane | 18 | |
| 
I was the giant great and still That sits upon the pillow-hill, | ||
| My Shadow | 20 | |
| 
He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you
                can see; I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! | ||
| Foreign Children | 34 | |
| 
Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanee, Oh! don't you wish that you were me? | ||
| Looking-glass River | 42 | |
| 
We can see our coloured faces Floating on the shaken pool | ||
| [Pg xvi] | ||
| The Hayloft | 48 | |
| 
Oh, what a joy to clamber there, Oh, what a place for play, With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air, The happy hills of hay! | ||
| North-west Passage | 50 | |
| 
And face with an undaunted tread The long black passage up to bed. | ||
| Picture-books in Winter | 64 | |
| 
Water now is turned to stone Nurse and I can walk upon; Still we find the flowing brooks In the picture story-books. | ||
| The Little Land | 74 | |
| 
I have just to shut my eyes To go sailing through the skies— To go sailing far away To the pleasant Land of Play; | ||
| The Flowers | 84 | |
| 
All the names I know from nurse: Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, And the Lady Hollyhock. | ||
| To Auntie | 100 | |
| 
What did the other children do? And what were childhood, wanting you? | ||

| Mr. Balfour, of the House of Shaws | 18 | 
| What he was, whether by trade or birth, was more than I could fathom | |
| At Queen's Ferry | 48 | 
| And the spirit of all that I beheld put me in thoughts of far voyages and foreign places | |
| The Siege of the Round-House | 84 | 
| It came all of a sudden when it did, with a rush of feet and a roar, and then a shout from Alan | |
| The Wreck of the "Covenant" | 112 | 
| It was the spare yard I had got hold of, and I was amazed to see how far I had travelled from the brig | |
| On the Island of Earraid | 122 | 
| But the second day passed; and as long as the light lasted I kept a bright look-out for boats on the sound or men passing on the Boss | |
| The Murderer of Roy Campbell of Glenure | 154 | 
| At that the murderer gave a little, quick look over his shoulder, and began to run | |
| At the Cards in Cluny's Cage | 214 | 
| But Alan and Cluny were most of the time at the cards | |
| Two Pipers in Balquhidder | 238 | 
| All night long the brose was going and the pipes changing hands | |
| The Parting | 286 | 
| For we both knew without a word said that we had come to where our ways parted | |
| Map | 3 | 
| Sketch of the Cruise of the Brig Covenant and the probable course of David Balfour's Wanderings |
